Hi all,
I've been thinking about the issue of documenting Poky's dependencies in
the handbook.
At the moment the handbook includes a list of required packages and then
explicitly lists commands to install those packages on Ubuntu.
What I'd like to propose is that we list the required dependencies in
the handbook and then link to a wiki page where we can list explicit
instructions for various distributions.
This allows us to document the process for as many distributions as
possible without cluttering the handbook. An alternative would be to add
this to an appendix but I quite like the idea of people being able to
edit and add to this information without having to use git.
That makes sense, although keeping current Ubuntu and Fedora doesn't
take much space and saves some large percentage (90%?) of our userbase
from having to follow one-more-link to get the required steps.
I'd also like to see the sanity checker do a better job at listing
package names rather than command names in a format that can be copy and
pasted into an aptitude or yum install command. If done right, this
would basically eliminate the need for any explicit list in the
documentation.
